What happened: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Johnston is entirely fine and will not miss significant time, while Kennard also departed with an unspecified issue. Biadasz sustained a leg injury during 11-on-11 drills and required a cart to leave the field.

Why it matters: Losing Biadasz for any length of time would disrupt the interior of the Los Angeles offensive line. Retaining Johnston keeps a primary target in the receiving corps intact ahead of the 2026 season.

What to watch: Los Angeles will evaluate Biadasz and Kennard as the preseason continues.
